Dreamcast Now! Service Usernames

[tmjwid]

I've got a build where it loads games with online people working but I'm going to be doing more work this weekend. I'm going to create a thread for the next release. I did do a backend update to accept dcnows broken ssl cert and also fixed a problem when people changed their name it didn't update correctly, leaving their old users in limbo. That's about it

New build of the app. Heres what's new:
- Game view, now there's a view that list all games and who is playing them.
- Settings view, this is just a toggle to set if you'd let the games view to be shown on launch or the user view.
- All data is now over https.

Next build, I'll hopefully have notifications in for when people come online.
You should be able to just update to this version like any normal app.

Nice work!

Sorry about the SSL cert. Let's encrypt only generate 3 month certs and my computer is in storage so I haven't been able to renew :/

You'll give the source code ?

You'll give the source code ?

Eventually. I want it to be in a good state before I opensource the entire thing (apps + backend) but that'll be a long time before I'm at that point. If anyone is wanting to help then by all means they can get involved this is a community project for me.

Although the current android app has been good to have, the program has a fair share of problems. The program crashes regularly when refreshing lists, the program will hang on a black screen and crash if the server cannot be contacted at startup (made the app useless for almost a whole day), rendering is slow and choppy when scrolling through lists, and it takes several seconds to switch views.

Since the program is not open source and possible fixes cannot be made and submitted, I just ended up making a clone of the current program. It has been useful and it might be worth sharing. Just to note, it will not work on Android 7 (Nougat) due to OpenSSL libraries not being included in that version of Android. If interested, a future build could be made with the necessary libraries bundled with the application.
